THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years 1 have been T victim of a very severe and agonizing case of Salt Rheum. which affected my hands to such an extent that they almost became burden.
 My hand became raw ar horritying, com. polling me to keep it covered all the time.
 Eye spent hundreds of dollars for various preparations. but instead of bcnefi,tng my condition, they all seemed to stimulate and encourage the progress of the miserable dis ease, until had about given up all hope.
 But thank heaven. "the darkest hour is just before day" and am reioiced to know that positive cure ha, been found, which is known us B. E. E. Botanic Blood Balm.
 My family all rejoice at its magical cura- tive powers in giving me relief My hand has been cured and resembles burnt sur face after being healed over, more than any thing else It has also cured my two child- ren of loathesome form of itch which had resisted all previous treatment. l refer to any business house in Moody and to Thos.

Davenport presents one of the saddest
instances of deprivation and degradation
imaginable. The Sunday Democrats Ga
zette describes it:
Yesterday morning Emma Meier was
brought before Justice Kramer, charged
with vagrancy. She is girl of seven>
teen years. Like too many other girls
whose parental training has been greatly
neglected, she has become a degraded
vagrant. Five weeks ago she left home,
going to Chicago. After wandering
around that city for few weeks, she
was picked up and sen: to a home for
the friendless. Not content with remain
ing there, she was shipped to this
city Friday evening. She stated in
Justice kramer's court that on arriv-
ing here she went to the home of
her parents, but her father chased her
out of the house and babe her
never enter it again. Then she set up
cries for her mother to allow her to re-
enter the house, but the mother would
not respond. The parents were in the
police court yesterday while their daugh
Ter was being tried. 1t was pitiful sight
Both father and mother seemed to realize
the depth of degradation to which their
daughter had fallen. The young girl
smiled while her mother wept and the
father' apparently meditating on the cir
cumstances of the case, viewed the sit
uation gravely.
The justice bound her over to the next
term OF the district court in the sum of
S2oO. and ordered her to Jail in default.
The thought of being imprisoned was
more than she could bear. She begged
ner mother to do something for her, but
"nen the parent would not listen to her
entreaties, then the daughter said, well,
goodbye then'--and off she marched
with the police officer to the Jail.

new 1OrR Evening Post.
John Sherman has announced the plat
form on which he would have the repub
licans contest the election of 1888 under
candidate whom modesty fOrbids him to
mention, One plank is "A fair count OF
the vote in the southern States" by
which he explains that he means the as
sumption by congress of control over all
federal elections in the south. This
would be the revival and extension of Il
power which republican congress re
fused to exercise SO long ago as
when the Force Bill was defeated
IN 1875, and which u republican
president detinitively surrendered when
Mr.. Hayes removed the troops
from the south and granted home
rule in 1877 That Mr.. Sherman should
seriously make such proposition ten
years later seems almost incredible But
it is not much more absurd than his other
tariff plank, which is the maintenance of
the present tarig, except for reduction OF
abolition Of the sugar tax, to be compen,
stated by bounty; the return to the
states of the direct tax ana the revival of
that disastrous distribution act of 1887
for the purpose of appOrtioning SEQ,
O0O,COO Of the surplus among the states
Time was when John Sherman was pre-
sented as an eminently safe" and CON
servative man for the presidency, but nc
body would suspect it to hear him talk in
these DAYS.

The chief duty before the new congress
is to reduce the unnecessary taxes Ten
million dollars are collected every month
for which the government has no need
and which only 90 to swell the already
enormous surplus IN the treasury, which
is constant temptation to jobbers and a
standing menace to the business of the
country. The revenue should be reduced
800, 900, 900 year and it ought to be
done by lowering the taxes on the Deces-
saries of life. 1t is urged by some
cOwardly advisers that the matter should
be postponed until after the presidential
election, on the ground that the republi-
cans will attempt to make party capital
out of it. The natural answer is, lei
them make all the capital they can out OF
their opposition to the nearly unanimous
demand of the people Anything more
fortunate for the democracy could not be
imagined than just that. The people re-
quest that the surplus taxes remain where
they belong-in the pockets of the tax.

THE clean sweep of the postofiices that
has been assumed to have occurred since
the incoming OF Cirveland's ndministTa>
ton is not shown by the annual report of
the postmaster general which has Just
been published. From this Teport>i, APP
pears that the total number of posiofiices
on June 80, last, was 5.l57. The total
number of changes since 1885 has been
but 2S. 3S2, leaving 26. 10 offices filed as
they were when the democratic adminis>
tratiOn came into power nearly three
years ago. twill be observed that the
changes made are barely sufficient to es-
tablish proper equilibrium between the
two parties, Most of such new appoints
ments as have been made have been Ia
succeed postmasters who have resigned
or whose commissions have expired. A
large number Of changes would have oc-
Cured anyway, aside from partisan rea'
sons. During republican administra
tons the changes laiterly averaged abou
5000 per annum.

ASTOUNDING revelations us to the rss'
cali,y of E. L. Harper, late cashier OF
the Fidelity bank, are being made at MS
trial now in progress At Cincinnati. 1t
appears from the testimony OF Joe WIZ

frat entered into wicked conspiracy to
corner one of the necessaries of life, and
then robbed the depositors Of the Fidelity
hank 10 carry il through. He took other
peoples money to which he had access
by virtue Of his position rs president OF
the baHk, and used ii in his private spec
ulations. A more fagrant breach OF
trust, or rather robbery pure md simple,
was never committed But it is at lessl
a matter of congratulation that Harper
will certainly 90 to the penitentiary for
long term of years
